Clearly, Dennis states he wishes more locations offered T-3 level of services, particularly for the G50 and even FY33.

Our best year was 2000, where out of state was about ~$33,000. That is a drop in the bucket when you gross more than a few million annually and have 15 employees and 3 shops to feed.
Out of state/area actually costs more because you must be extra special cautious or risk ending up towing them back from who knows where for mistakes.
It all started as a kind of a challenge to see how far I could get someone to drive to ATL, then it was used to inflate employees ego, now it has little if any emotional value.

He further states that as a solution for owners who have unsolvable problems, he encourages them to transpost their cars to Atlanta for the correct services which T-3 can provide. Anyone who thinks he should recommend Joe's Garage instead because it is local is just plain stupid beyond belief.
He also states that the amount of of businees that is directly attributable to the hours he spends researching, posting, and recounting his knowledge for the member's of this board is financially insignificant when compared to the overall revenues of T-3 in their market.
Has reading comprehension declined so preciptously with what's left of American education, or are we just too lazy to think? Oooohhh, brain hurts when I use it!!! No! No! Must not think!
I leave it to each member to determine to the best of each one's abilities.
